What if someone pay you to marry Scandinavian women? Yeah, you heard that right. Iceland government is paying people to come and marry their women.
An online portal covered this story first. According to them, Iceland government is offering money to people who marry the women of their country.
Someone very notable after looking at this news said, “Perhaps the most prominent of our attention the story that it’s because of the high proportion of females than males have resorted government of that country to the solution is to grant $2,000 per month per immigrant marries Icelandic, and that the priority in this resolution will go to North Africa’s population.”
After the news went viral, people went crazy and Icelandic embassy was flooded with messages to marry an Icelandic women. A special interest was shown by men from northern parts of Africa.
But the question is this news true or just a rumour?
The Rumour
False rumors about the Icelandic government offering financial compensation to foreign men willing to marry Icelandic women have caused dozens of suitors to contact the Icelandic Ministry for Foreign Affairs.
A story published on a website called thespiritwhispers.com claims that Icelandic authorities pay males USD 5,000 (ISK 608,000, EUR 4,500) a month for marrying Icelandic women.
At the bottom of the story, people are asked to leave a comment regarding this offer. Numerous readers have done so, and the story is the website’s most read.
There is no truth either to the claim that there is a lack of males in Iceland. Whoever the people are who run this website, they waste no time checking their facts and, more obviously, not their spelling either. The story is written in broken English.
According to information from the Ministry for Foreign Affairs, between 30 and 40 inquiries have been received regarding the matter. All of them are answered with the simple explanation that the story is entirely unfounded.
If there was any doubt about the matter, Iceland Monitor would like to state that the Icelandic government does not pay men to marry Icelandic women.
